Define punishment

Maybe this is something you want to exercise your wit on.

Personally, I'm lost for words...

<a href="http://www.thisistrue.com/blog-public_humiliation_vs_real_punishment.html">Randy Cassingham's Blog: Public Humiliation vs. Real Punishment</a>

PUBLIC HUMILIATION IN THE INTERNET ERA: Visitors at a park in Mason,
  Ohio, called police after an apparently drunk man climbed into his
  pickup truck and started driving around, including near the children's
  play area. When an officer arrived, "I observed [the suspect] to be
  wearing a very skimpy woman's ... bikini with two tan water balloons
  taped to the top to simulate two woman's breasts and a pair of pink
  Speedo flip-flop sandals," Officer Scott Miller said in his report.
  Steven S. Cole, 46, a volunteer firefighter who had emergency lights on
  his truck, was also wearing a blond wig, and allegedly had a blood
  alcohol level of .174 percent. He explained he was on his way to a
  contest at a "gay bar"; police found more wigs, a pair of silver go-go
  boots, beer, and other items in his truck. Cole was charged with
  drunken driving, having an open container, public indecency and
  disorderly conduct. (Cincinnati Enquirer) ...But since police released
  his booking photos and they're all over the web, they really need to
  drop the charges to avoid Double Jeopardy.

It wasn't that I was musing about.

If a local lapse (OK they're all local to start with) results in global humiliation should we draw a line under that, or continue to demand due process and further punishment?

I think they have done as much to him as he deserves for his actions and they should call it quits.

I would say this was almost as bad as the Police here showing photos of that decapitated motorcyclist without permission from his family.

He was a pratt, he may be a drunk, but for a law department to publish pictures like that is not excusable.  noooo:

Yes, but funny nonetheless. You could make it a new form of punishment.

1. Catch chav
2. Make them dress up in daft wig and bikini
3. Post in local paper
4. Chav gets a kicking from his "mates"

Saves a lot of money drumroll:
